Wellness all around with Briana

Your body holds so much for you—your experiences, your energy, your healing.

This is a gentle reminder that taking care of your body isn’t a chore, it’s a way of showing love to yourself.

Whether it’s through movement, mindful breathing, or the food you choose, every act of nourishment becomes a way to say thank you to the body that carries you through life.🦋

Every challenge, every joy, every moment we live through leaves a mark. These experiences mold our perspective and become the lens through which we see the world.

What we go through doesn’t just happen to us—it shapes us. Our reality is a reflection of how we’ve learned, healed, and grown through it all.

Our reality isn’t random—it’s shaped by the paths we’ve walked, the pain we’ve faced, and the lessons we’ve carried forward. It’s all part of the story.

The seasons we endure shape the way we see and feel. Our reality is not built in a moment—it’s formed through everything we’ve ever been through.

And when we pause to see it that way, maybe we can feel just a little more proud. A little more at peace. A little more grateful for how far we’ve come.

I had a beautiful one on one with a beautiful soul yesterday. Here was her response to her very first yoga practice… ⬇️

What style of Yoga is right for you?

Hatha yoga connects the mind and body through breathing exercises and physical poses.

Vinyasa, or "Vinyasa Flow," emphasizes transitions between poses and features a faster pace. Its structure varies significantly, appealing to many for fitness benefits.

Ashtanga Yoga classes are high-energy and challenging, following a set sequence of poses linked to breath. It includes six series: primary, intermediate, and four advanced, each with its own order. While similar to Vinyasa, Ashtanga is more rigorous with a stricter sequence.

Kundalini yoga is known for its spiritual benefits, symbolized by a coiled snake at the base of the spine, representing untapped energy. The goal is to "uncoil" and activate this energy through poses, pranayama, sounds, and meditation.

Bikram classes are held in a sauna-like environment at around 40 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). This form of yoga consists of a fixed sequence of 26 poses, each performed twice.

Iyengar Yoga, founded by B.K.S. Iyengar, focuses on proper alignment and precise cues. Classes start with basic foundations for beginners and progress to more advanced practices.

Yin Yoga offers a slower, meditative practice where poses are held longer, typically 1-5 minutes, targeting connective tissues and helping release blocked energy (Chi). Holding static poses also safely applies stress to the joints.

Restorative yoga classes are calm and slow-paced, using props to achieve poses that promote relaxation and healing. With 5-8 poses held for five minutes or longer, these classes focus on minimal effort and deep rest, stimulating healing in the nervous system.

Enjoy this poem I created about the connection of body mind and breath during a yoga flow. 🧘🏼‍♀️

In this moment, let your body be still,
Feel the breath flow in, a wave, a thrill.
Let go of the weight that’s been holding you down,
Inhale the light, exhale the frown.

Each breath is a bridge, connecting your soul,
Mind and body in sync, together they roll.
Release what no longer fits, let it drift away,
Find your center, here, in the now, today.

With every inhale, draw in the spark,
With every exhale, release the dark.
Feel the rhythm, the pulse, the beat,
In this dance of presence, you’re finally complete.

Embrace the journey, the flow and the sway,
In this sacred space, let yourself play.
Here in the balance of breath, body, and mind,
You’ll discover the peace that’s yours to find.
